Which German words do you know?

[325i]

Wunderbar, LMAO. I have German family members.

I used to know a great word "hackflieshauflauf" I just know I spelled that wrong. Anyway, I think it meant some sort of meat pie. I just loved saying it!

mittelschmerz is one every girl & woman should know.

go look it up.

trockenbeerenauslese is a wine i'd love to try just because of the name. it's the sweetest of german wines & the grapes look like raisins (from what i hear the wine has raisin notes) & wines of this sort can easily last 100 yrs. i certainly can't afford it.

I can remember all sorts of random German from school, but not really enough to have a decent conversation, especially as I can understand very little of what's said back to me!

Gehen Sie gerade aus (go straight on - when giving directions)
Wie komme ich am besten zum bahnhof? (what is the best way to the station?)
Wie komme ich am besten zum Rathaus? (what is the best way to the town hall?)
Ich gehe ins kino (I am going to the cinema)
Ich habe kopfschmerzen (My head hurts/I have a headache)
Ich habe durchfall (I have diarrhoea)
Ich habe verstopfung (I have constipation)
Mir ist kalt (I am cold)
Mir ist warm (I am hot)
Ich bin kalt (I am frigid - this mistake causes much hilarity in German lessons over here)
Ich bin warm (I'm a bit of hot stuff! - again, not a good mistake to make!)
Kann ich Ihnen helfen? (Can I help you?)
Wie schade! (What a shame!)

I could go on, but it's mostly boring school stuff, the chair, the pen, the bag, the cat etc... I'm surprised at how much I can remember to be honest, given that I've not studied or spoken German in 16 years!

I enjoyed German. I'd like to be better at it, but without someone to practice regularly with it's hard to remember it.

schmerz is pain, so mittelschmerz sounds like middle/stomach pain.

Möglich=Possible
Schiße=Shit
Glücklich(sp?)=Happy

I know some more but I guess that's enough for the moment.

I lived in Germany for a couple years and learned pretty quickly but I forgot most of it

I took the first German course last semester. I really do love the language (and German culture, food, etc). I want to try to teach myself more

 

[Glitziegal]

I know bits of german. I can pick out bits better written than spoken. I have a german O level. I also lived in Germany for a month....but I get my german and french muddled up...so speak my own kind of Euro language. lol.

 

[Miss_Behave]

but you girls rock!!! I didn't know that so may of you know a little german, that's cool!

Just about everyone in my family speaks German except for myself & my brother (who was actually born in Frankfurt where my parents met). I can understand some though from reading
